This mc is kinda disgusting, he speak more lies than truth, his behaviour is only formal and commendable talk. . . he doesnt says anything he thinks even if someone does something wrong he kept his fake himself with formal and praising words. . . and cupped his hands 8x in 10 chapter. . cupped hands here, cupped hands there and everywhere. in my opinion you should do it with the low key mc so that all good friends masters etc know how strong he is and not like here that the mc lies to everyone and nobody really respects him because he is "not strong"(change maybe later). I dropped. . . it just doesn't feel good when our mc bows to everyone and is waay too polite while everyone else calls him kid, little or just doesn't take him seriously and take his things as they want. .
It is nasuverse.
theres no point in complaining here, this isnt even the original site, i get that this book inst the best but the author litteraly put months of his life if not a few years of it in this book, the least you could do is keep shit to yourself and go read something else if you don't like it.
So basically like martial world
To me he is lowkey, not because of his actions.
But because of the author always putting him in those types of situations where arrogant young masters who have eyes but can't see Mt. Thai talk sh*t to his face, then later dies which brings out the old fogeys. Or how the surrounding people would murmur on about how they believe the MC is overestimating himself because they don't know who he is. (Which is confusing because the underworld web should at least have a photo of him seeing as his actions, on multiple occasions; have shaken the entire underworld)
TLDR: not 'truly' lowkey by nature but by circumstance.
For all of those who live under a rock and don't know this novel and still need a push to read it, please go ahead and do it then jump to the manhwa version and lastly the anime version. Believe me you will not regret it! I wish the ranking was more representative to the value of this novel..
Dudee, its set on a warring era. What do you expect her and her friends doing if not fighting on a battlefield?
If you’re an intelligent reader, do not, I repeat, do NOT waste your time on this novel. The only reason I’m this far into the novel is because I had a few days off work and wanted to procrastinate. Being a fast reader and with the relatively low word count per chapter, I was able to breeze through it quickly. I reached my current chapter in less than a day and have decided to drop it with a sense of relief. Here are some reasons why (most of which have already been mentioned by other reviewers):
- **Lack of Logical Continuity**: This is a clear sign of an incompetent writer who doesn’t take the time to develop their characters or a coherent story outline. I don’t respect such writers. The author is very unprofessional with their plot ideas:
- **Inconsistent Skills**: Skills that seemed to be a significant part of the main character's (MC) arsenal are quickly forgotten or conveniently discarded to create helpless situations that could otherwise have been easily resolved.
- **Disappearing Characters**: Characters who are somewhat "important" at the beginning of the story disappear for hundreds of chapters, only to be briefly mentioned again for the sake of advancing the plot. For example, it’s not until late in the 300+ chapters that we learn about the MC’s biological brother, who has been missing but not dead all along. Why bring him up again? Just so the MC can continue hating her family, the Nalans, who cruelly abandoned her. Anything can be "conveniently" introduced to further an already lackluster plot, even if it makes no sense or was impossible just a few chapters ago.
- **MC Lacks Presence**: The MC has absolutely no redeeming qualities besides her beauty, which is described in every single chapter. Everything she knows comes from her inheritance—nothing to do with her past life or her own accumulated knowledge. New poison? She conveniently read about it from her inheritance. I’m tired of this overused trope!
- **Male Lead is Problematic**: The male lead is another "cold-aura-hell-king" who won't let the MC out of his sight and would handcuff and imprison her if he could. He doesn’t respect personal space, has zero ability to deal with rejection, and suffers from unreasonable, childlike jealousy. He absolutely loses his composure just because the MC is treating some guy’s wounds—hello, she’s a medic. It’s her job!
- **Harem with No Credibility**: There’s no credible reason why any of these guys are initially interested in the MC, including the male lead and one of the main antagonists. Things just happen because the MC is an unparalleled beauty with a jade face and bright, shiny eyes as deep as the constellations. Get real.
Why anyone has given this a 5-star rating is beyond me. I don’t want to insult your intelligence, but your 4/5 star reviews haven’t exactly filled me with confidence.
What chapter did you make it to
Ling lan? Which novel is that?
No problem?
It's so bad I can't read it, someone tell me of it gets fixed one day
